The performance on the motives of the famous Tale about Raška written by Ota Pavel can be put into a category of “experimental performances”. The show takes place in an unusual space of a small unroofed arena. The audience (in a reduced number) should feel inside as if they were on the stand around the landing zone under the ski jump hill somewhere in the high mountains. The mountains and ski jump towers create the main stage set of the snow fairy tale about a little boy who wants to climb a high mountain and then fly higher and higher …
